    I don't have time to run through all the replies, so sorry if this has already been said. My understanding is that breasts are made up of breast tissue and fat tissue (and the ratio is different for every woman, and may change over her lifetime), this may or may not be the case for every woman. I find my size goes up and down with my weight. At the moment I'm a D, but at my healthy weight/when I'm not breastfeeding, I'm closer to a B/C cup. For a woman whose breasts are largely breast tissue, they might not find that their breast size changes that much and so they need to take that into account in terms of health and weight loss. If your doctor has done a breast exam for you, you may find that she has a better sense of what your boobs are made of and how that is reflected in weight loss.

    BMI can be useful for some people, but it's based around averages that might not reflect your situation. Personally, I'd focus on waist size, rather than overall weight so that you're dealing with the unhealthy fat, while also taking into account your own body type.

    Good luck!

    It's a funny thought, isn't it? I actually stepped on the scale one day and had my boyfriend lift "the girls" away from me to try to guess how much they weighed. Um...close to 15-20 pounds total. Eek! Us big-chested girls do have to take that into account when measuring our body fat/BMI.

    I had my boyfriend do the same thing, I was about 10 pounds lighter. Crazy how just my boobs can bring me below the 200 range.
